Rd.1 Kawan Short NT, 6'3, 299, 5.09, Short is the perfect penetrating NT in Wade's defense. He commands double teams.

Rd.2 Da'Rick Rodgers WR, 6'2, 217, 4.52, Best WR in the draft is perfect WR for WC offense, breaks tackles and gets alot of YAC. Great hands, this pick came down to Rodgers (Pot) vs Swope (Concussions) I chose Rodgers with King God'ell cracking down on the concussion thingy.

Rd.3 Cornelius Washington OLB, 6'4, 265, 4.55, Washinton is the most athletic of all the highly rated Georgia LB's. He played the strong side mostly which allowed Jones and Ogletree to get all of the glory.

Rd. 3 Tyler Bray,QB 6'6 232, 5.05, The Texans will be lucky if he falls this far, great value, Anybody that has read my posts knows my thoughts on Bray. My #1 QB in this draft.

Ed.4 Reid Fragel,OT, 6'8, 308, 5.15, Former TE, great feet, strongest OT at the combine, plays with a mean streak. I would trade up to get him if I had too.

Rd.6 Micheal Mauti, ILB, great leader, coming off 2nd ACL, dynamic player reminds me of Sean Lee, would've been my pick for the Texans at 27 except for the ACL. Good time to take a chance on a guy like Mauti.

Rd.7 Uzoma Nwachukwu, WR, 5'11 198, 4.40, 10'10 BJ, 39'5 vert. Great athlete, speed to stretch the field, good hands, learned pro system under sherman so he should be ready to play right away. Was under used in college. IMHO

This draft has Reed moving to ILB.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated, I think most of the holes are filled with some of the best athletes that were at the combine in the appropriate rds. Using CBS and the TT Mock Draft as a guideline.

Thoughts

I think swapping Taylor for Bray would be more likely. I highly doubt Bray would be there in the 5th, but I'd rather take Cooper when we know he will be there, as opposed to taking what would be the 5th QB on the roster. Other than that, good draft. I really like Mauti as well, just hope he can stay on the field.

You know I like the first three .... I had all three at those spots in the TT member mock. (copy cat )

To be honest , I think they could move back 10 spots or so and still get Short while picking up an additional pick maybe a 2 & 3 or 4 the latter you could use on an ILB as there are several who I think present value in the 4th round.

I like the rest of it too .... You addressed OT where I didnt get around to it in time.

I could live with Bray at that comp pick but Im still not sold on any of this years QB's being successful in the NFL.

Cooper Taylor is a better version of Dester McCoil who I took in the 7th in the TT Mock. Big , fast and will lay the lumber. Gives them someone to match up with those damn TE's in dime packages.

Thoughts

you do a fine job filling needs but color me not sold on these prospects being Texan worthy?
If Rick would sign off on them then fine, you have an interior DL, #2 WR with eye towards furture #1, OLB as Merciuls fill Barwin starting role, QB of future (sorry TJ & Case) Fragel gives Texans OT depth, see Cooper Taylor a lot lately guess size does matter, TE & ILB depth as well.

Is Reed confirmed moving to ILB? I think he could take a few snaps there but just think he would get exposed in coverage too much, just because Brian can pull it off doesn't mean Brooks has the feet & change in direction skills, better off pressing the edges after the QB.

in the same round i think i would rather have pough from howard. i just prefer him more as a prospect.

i understand your admiration for Bray but im too pumped for next years QBs to be happy with this pick. Other then Bray and mauti i would be very very happy with this draft

nice work

Next years QB's ..... Where are you going to have to draft that guy at.

I expect the Texans to have another solid season in 2013 ... they will not likely be in position to draft one of the premium QB prospects (without a move up). I find it doubtful they find a rookie starter in the 3rd , Seattle got damn lucky.

Im not sold on Bray .... But unless Schaub takes this team to the Superbowl , I dont see him on the team in 2014 .... and his replacement probably isnt on the roster.

It'll only cost them 9m , prorated over three seasons Vs the cap to cut Schaub after next year ....

If they can get a QB they believe in somewhere in rounds 3-4 ..... I think they do it .... looking beyond Schaub.

i think there could be at around 4 1st round graded QBs next year. unlike this year which maybe doesnt have one. One of them will be available at the 32 pick and even if we must move up 10spots it doesn't cost as much as years gone by

Love the mock draft. I only have one real issue with it and a couple nit pik issues. 1. Your waiting until the 5th round to take a secondary player. We have good starters but we have minimal depth. We need a quality CB and/or Safety earlier, that #3 Safety plays alot of snaps, alot more than a backup O-lineman or a QB that won't see the field for another 2 yrs.. 2. The 6th and 7th round guys I think could be a little better. Instead of Stoneburner I'd take a chance on Lucas Reed's athleticism as a receiver or Michael Williams as a blocker, depending on what you want at TE. I'm not familiar with that 7th round WR at all, so I'll just have to trust you on that one. I do like the added WR depth, the position chosen in the 7th.

Overall, very good job.

This yrs S group is very deep. In other yrs Taylor would go in the 3rd rd. Heck, Luvinator wants Taylor in the 3rd rd. The Texans need a QB that can sit and learn next yr and be ready to play in 2014. That guy, (Yates/Case/McGhee) may already be on the roster. But if my #1 ranked QB is on the board in rd 3 I'm picking him.

Stoneburner is a good blocker and an above avg receiver. A better version of OD coming out of college. I do like Reed and Williams alot though.

I think Jake Stoneburner will play a decade in the NFL ....

I don't really care for a receiver in the seventh round. Give me a RB (James or whatever his name at Miami?)to compete for the third spot or a tall CB that needs work on technique like the UCLA guy (Sheldon Price?)

There is a S prospect that I hope the Texans sign as an UDFA, he probably wont get drafted due to tearing his ACL and playing football at McNeese St. just like his uncle Zack Bronson. Both are from Jasper, Tx and are great players. Zack Bronson was a starting S for the 49ers for yrs and his nephew Malcolm Bronson has the same type of potential.
